Lin Yang remembered.

That familiar voice belonged to the housekeeper who had visited her some time ago.

His husband, isn't he...?

Mr. Ex?!

"Sir... why do you suddenly want to see me?" Lin Yang swallowed hard to hide her nervousness.

After the Downs went bankrupt overnight, Mr. Ex became the new investor in Dynasty.

Lin Yang always felt that Ex seemed to be silently watching her every move.

Mr. Ex's sudden desire to see her is most likely because of the trending topic.

She topped the trending searches for two consecutive days, making it hard for her to go unnoticed.

"I dare not presume to know what the master means. You will know when you meet him." The butler was extremely loyal to his master and spoke to Lin Yang in circles, showing no intention of revealing anything.

The call was very brief; there were no further words exchanged before the call ended.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Lin Yang's phone vibrated again.

The address and time were sent by the housekeeper.

"Seven o'clock tonight, same place."

What the hell? What's this "old place"?

Lin Yang's fingertip lingered on the words "the usual place," a look of bewilderment on her face.

In the original owner's memories, she searched high and low, but so far she has not been able to find any memories related to Mr. Ex.

Now that she's going to meet the old man, it's fine, but why make it so mysterious? And why is she going to the same old place? How is she supposed to find it?

She couldn't refuse because of her bias.

She had inquired privately about the Tang family's overnight bankruptcy, and as she had expected, it was related to Mr. Ex.

The Tang family has deep roots, but it was just a matter of a word from Mr. Ex.

What would happen if she dared to refuse?

"Um, could you elaborate?" Lin Yang finally typed out a string of words and sent the message after lighting up the chat box with her fingertips.

The housekeeper didn't press her to explain why she didn't even remember the old place, and quickly replied to her message, "Old house at No. 52, 13th Road, Jinling Suburbs".

Having a specific address would be perfect, saving her from racking her brains for ages without finding an answer.

Speaking of Mr. Ex, I should really find an opportunity to ask the system next time why she has no memory of him at all.

Lin Yang checked her phone, saw that it was still early, so she turned it off silent and went to sleep.

*

It was seven o'clock, and the sky was dark.

Lin Yang had just gotten out of the taxi and was heading alone to meet her husband.

She had intended for the driver to take her to the entrance of the old house, but as soon as she turned onto this small slope, a guard stopped her and only allowed Lin Yang to walk up.

She also mentioned that Miss Lin had always met with Mr. Ex in this manner.

Why are they acting so mysteriously? Are they having an affair?

Lin Yang internally complained to herself while tightening her grip on the chain of her handbag.

Lin Yang quietly moved her fingertips to the side of the bag and touched the bulge, only then did she feel a little relieved.

What's hidden here might give her some time to escape at a crucial moment.

"Miss Lin, this way please." Following the slope uphill, Lin Yang unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the old house.

There were guards at the gate, and they automatically led the way to Lin Yang when they saw her.

Despite being an old house, the interior is brand new, with no signs of disrepair, indicating that it is regularly cleaned.

"Miss Lin, please come upstairs. The gentleman is waiting for you in his room." There are three escalators in the house. The person leading the way led her up to the second floor and stopped.

It seems that not many people can get into this third floor.

"Thank you." Lin Yang politely thanked the person who had led the way, tightening her grip on the chain.

The building wasn't tall; it was only the third floor, yet Lin Yang's toes trembled slightly.

There are many rooms on the third floor, but each one has a sign that reads "No Entry".

Guided by her intuition, Lin Yang arrived at the end of the corridor.

Sure enough, there was no sign on the door of that room.

"Knock knock—" Lin Yang took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Only one word came from inside the door.

His voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of cool and aloofness.

Damn? Not an old man?
